Editing timelapses in Lightroom- looks very different if there´s a small change within the frame

Hi
We´re having some serious issues with editing timelapses in Lightroom (5.6). What seems to happen over and over again, is that if there´s a small change within the frame (such as a bird flying past, people walking), the editing result varies greatly compared to the previoius frame. It´s easiest to understand what I mean by viewing the examples below.
Here there´s one picture without a boat in the frame, and a few seconds later there´s a boat in a small part of the frame. The camera is set to full manual, and the two JPGs which show the unedited pictures shows that the background and sky in both pictures look exactly the same. However, after pasting the same editing setting on both pictures, the picture with the boat looks vastly different (shadow areas are much darker). It´s the same result weather it is a white boat, a black bird or a person walking in/out of the frame. The picture gets much darker, and leads to some serious flicker in the timelapse which can be impossible to get rid of.
I assume that as there´s a small change in the histogram when the boat enters the frame, this change affects what Lightroom thinks of as shadows/highlights on so on? The example below has some heavy editing applied (shadows up, highlights down, clarity). You can see the settings that have been adjusted in the screenshots below. Does LR change what it considers shadows/highlights based on the histogram, or are there standard settings? If this is the case, it would be much better for timelapsers if Lightroom had standard values for what is considered shadows/highlights, so that two pictures where the only difference is a person walking on the street or not, would look the same with the same editing settings applied. What I find strange if LR works like I´m asking here, why does the picture get darker whether it is a white boat or a black bird changing the histogram slightly. Shouldn´t they then have the opposite effect of each other?
Any ideas what is causing the difference, and what I can do about it? Thanks!

CS6 problem. When I open the Mask panel, it takes up the entire screen width and the Looks controls disappear, Also, there is a new panel below the Mask panel that seems to have no purpose that I can find. The documentation says "Mask and Look panels - The Mask panel is now placed next to the Look panel. WIth the masking and grading tools placed side-by-side, you can now work faster on the mask workflow." Is there a way to move, hide, or otherwise manipulate the panels for a custom layout? All the examples I can find on the Web show the Looks panel to the left of the Mask panel where the controls are available.

Ok, here is what I have so far. Appdelete the iWork and reinstalled. Pages and Number work, but not Keynote.
Now, I downloaded a couple apps that I need, and no matter what I did, the spinning ball came up and the download stopped till it unlocked itself. It is really frustrating because the download was not completed and whatever came through would not mount. Could this issue be the internet connection? Permission fix showed a lot of Airport issues. I will try to run permissions fix again.

Question When I do a search for an image I only have a limited number of images. There used to be a ton of pictures on my screen and an unlimited amount of pictures to look through. Is there a way of changing this back to the way it used to be???

Thanks. So there's no means of knowing whether a text message has been delivered, not to mention time of delivery. Perhaps I've gone for the wrong phone. It might do a lot but seems to miss out on some basics.

When moving from LR4 to PSE9 editor my photos look very different

I've recently bought lightroom 4 which I'm using with elements 9 and I know that lightroom 4 will slightly alter the look of photos previously edited in elements which hasn't been a problem so far. My problem is that photos edited in lightroom/develop look completely different - unusably diiferent in fact - when I move them to elements/editor from lightroom. What am I doing wrong? The photos were moved using 'Ctrl +E' or 'Photo/Edit In/Edit in Adobe Photoshop Elements'.
I decided to check the photos that had been edited in lightroom by going into elements/editor via via elements/organiser and they were fine - only slightly different - but then when I opened the lightroom/library again I got a warning exclamation mark 'Error writing metadata' (not the warning exclamation mark 'Update to current Process (2012)' that you get in lightroom develop).
Am I missing something in the 'Edit Photo With Adobe Photoshop Elements' dialog box?
man thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks for the replies - I think I've got it working now
My photos are all RAW but the problem also occurred with jpg and psd files
I've worked my way through all the options in the 'edit in adobe photoshop elements' dialog box and this is what happens when the photos are sent from lightroom to elements:
file format:
I'm using psd - but the same problem occurred with tiffs and jpgs
colour space:
ProPhoto RGB - the colour changes significantly when the photo opens in elements
Adobe RGB (1998) - the colour changes slightly when opened in elements
sRGB - the colour stays virtually the same
bit depth:
16 bit - I can't add layers to the file that opens in elements
8 bit - seems to work fine in elements
I am therefore sending photos to elements as sRGB 8 bit which seems to be working fine - hopefully there's no reason why I shouldn't be using these settings!

Lumetri Looks look very different between SG and PPro

Trying to create Looks in SG and use them as an effect directly appled to a clip(s) in PPro. Works just fine except what you see in SG is vastly different than what you get in PPro, color-wise. The clips are 8 bit HDV so some banding issues can occur-to be expected if I 'push' to far. But this is really different, i.e. what appears grayish in SG is really yellowish in PPro, colors very different. Any ideas?

First off there is a bug in the print dialog box with regards to the " proof" profile name and color preview. Make sure that if you change the proof set-up profile you also have to go to the proof set-up portion in the print dialog and re select the " current custom set-up" profile. This bug is completely adding to the confusing complexity of the print dialog box and is clearly in dire need of a complete overhaul.
Make sure the "match print colors" is checked as well to display the correct output to your device.
To answer your question...
>How can I get the workspace preview to match the Print dialog preview (which matches the printout better)?
In the proof set-up select the profile you want to apply in the " device to simulate" drop down. Select the rendering intent and if you want BPC as well. Make sure you select " Simulate paper color". Observe the preview and click OK.
Go to the print dialog and select " Photoshop manages color" - select your custom printer profile as well as applying the same rendering intent that you selected in the proof set-up - and if you are using BPC as well. Again, make sure you have "match print colors" checked. Also make sure you are not managing color in the printer driver as this will just double manage color and makes things more confusing.
Your working space preview in proof set up mode and your print dialog preview should match now - if not, go complain to Adobe about the retarded print features they offer...
As far as I'm concerned, they are completely lost in development as of now.

HT2506 I use Preview to edit photos, and would like to know if there are any Preview updates in the works. I find there is a problem with Preview crashing, or taking a very long time to "catch up" (spinning beachball of death) while I'm editing.

I use Preview to edit photos, and would like to know if there are any updates to this program in the works. It seems Apple is constantly updating its software, except for Preview. I find it crashes all too often, and also takes forever to "catch up" with me (as in spinning beachball of death) when I'm editing a lrge amount of photos. Yes, I know I should be using Photoshop or somesuch, but it's just too **** confusing, and I don't have the time to figure it out. Thanks!!

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

I am using CC v17.1 on a PC. I have recently taken over design responsibilities from someone who used a Mac. I need to use the Cygnet Round font, but it looks completely different on my PC than it did on the Mac.

I am wondering if fonts look different on a PC than a Mac. The font I am using is Cygnet Round, and it is completely different on my PC. I am at a loss....
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Images in lightroom look VERY DARK in library?! Please help...

I have been using Lightroom for a while now and have had no problems. I have recently opened lightroom and all the images in the library are now extremely dark and contrasty (i have not made any changes).
When I open the RAW files in PS or Bridge etc they look fine, and when I export the images from lightroom as JPG's they are fine, it seems like it just the way the images are displayed in Lightroom.
What am I doing wrong/how do I fix this problem??
Your help is much appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for your response. This is occuring in all views, be it grid, loupe, library or develop. It is across the entirity of lightroom, it almost seems like the colourspace has been changed. I'm new to this forum but im going to attach a few images so you can see what im talking about more clearly (i have done screen caps, one full screen and one zoomed in for both lightroom and explorer)
Many thanks
Zomm of above so you can see the images more clearly
As you can see, in explorer they look fine!
Zoom of above and the same images as above in lightroom (you can see the obvois colour/contrast/density difference)

Why do colors with identical cmyk numbers look very different?

i thought i had this problem solved, but here it is again with a new wrinkle. i have this gorgeous orchid bg box, cmyk 9-10-0-0 in a file with cmyk transparency blend space. same set up in file 2. i create a new bg box with the same numbers and it's a whole different color. there must be some parameters mismatched. what else should i be looking for to make sure the file setups are identical?

Attached is an image of what the color picker looks like after I have used the eyedropper to sample what I believed to be a swath of CMYK color.
It looks to me like the image you are sampling from is an RGB image. You can check that by opening the Links panel and clicking on the link, which will display the image's color space and profile.
actually, what i'm sampling--the lavendar bg on left --is color i created in ID; it's not a link. i thought i created it in cmyk; how can you tell it's rgb?
If you are picking up an out-of-gamut color from an RGB image, you can't match that color with a CMYK fill. You could make the background fill an RGB color and get a match. In that case both the fill and the image would get separated to the same CMYK mix on output to a CMYK device.
which does have a CMYK transparency blend space and separations preview in output.
You are confusing the Transparency blend space with a document color space. The Transparency Blend Space only comes into play if you have transparent objects that need to flattened. It has no effect on non-transparent objects.
hmmm, that's not my experience. so far as i can determine, i have no transparent objects, and yet the color on screen changes dramatically when i switch transparency blend space from rgb to cmyk.
why does changing from View to Separations within Separations Preview change the color of my CMYK background so dramatically?
Your background isn't CMYK it's RGB. When you turn on Overprint or Separation Preview, you get a preview of how your out-of-gamut RGB violet color will convert to CMYK.

Colors look very different when saving to jpg from psd

I'm working on a CMYK image and when I save it to jpg from photoshop CS6, I get this difference in color:
In photoshop:
Viewed from Preview as JPG:
I can't figure out what's causing this color change... I've never had problems saving to jpg before...
Any ideas?
Thanks!

When you save the jpeg are you using Save As... or Save For Web...? To keep the jpeg mode as CMYK you have to use Save As and if you want the jpeg's CMYK preview to match in other color managed applications you have to check Embed Color Profile.
In the Preview app if you choose Tools>Show Inspector the dialog will tell you what profile is embedded. In Photoshop if you choose Document profile from the pop-up in the window's lower left corner, the document's assigned profile will be listed. The Preview and Photoshop profiles have to match in order to get the same color soft proof:

My start page looks VERY different to the one you show !!!! use windows vista

my start page does not show the icons you display in your ' getting started. I use windows vista. firefox runs no problem -BUT -
i have to repeat most task when the computer restarts & icons you display are NOT shown ????

I just thought I'd tie this all together by saying I have completely resolved this now. I have now got the Spyder3 which I use with Integrated Color's ColorEyes Display Pro and I no longer have the problems I was experiencing before. For the first time I actually feel confident that my monitor is displaying correctly. Thank you to everyone who helped in this discussion - I highly recommend both ColorEyes (the support is fantastic too) and the Spyder3. Don't be put off by any previous bad experiences with the Spyder2 - the 3 really is a great device.
Many thanks,
J

Looking for that effect that vibrates/shakes your image inside the frame

Do you know where I can find that? It's a pretty common effect, that basically vibrates the centering of your image, probably inside a matted frame for a very shaky look. An example of what I'm talking about can be seen in Fincher's Fight Club during the Tyler Durden's Close-Up monologue "You're not your ******' khakis".
I've perused all FCP's visual effects and can't locate anything, but hopefully I'm missing it. Or maybe there's a free plugin that someone knows about. help appreciated.

You must have not looked too hard; there several 'jiggle' filters available. AmaFX has a 'Jump' and 'Vibrate', Eureka has 'Jiggle', Rainer has 'Wiggle', RiverRock Studios has 'Jitterbug' and there are probably more.

I have two libraries on the same computer but different logins, there is my user account for the computer and then there is my grandma's, how do i get my music without having to resync on both libraries?

this computer has two logins, my grandma's (which is the administrator) and mine, itunes is on both logins but on my login i have some music there and hers i have my other music.. i want to be able to redownload my music on my ipod touch with out having to resync back and forth between libraries.. how do i combine the libraries because if i go with one or the other i lose my music i have purchased, on both libaries the music belongs to me not my grandma,
Also, a few weeks ago, I loaned the IPOD to somebody and they told me that evidently the IPOD had been hacked and that it had lost all the music. When I got it back, I re-synced it and got some of the music back. After talking to other people, I now suspect that my "friend" tried to do something he wasn't suppose to to and the IPOD shut down or that he was trying to create an Apple ID of his own without paying for it. Now that I have it back, I just want to get the music back that I paid for that is already associated with my ID and that is in my two libraries. I can see them in there (on the computer), I just can't access them to download them on the IPOD. Can you help?

There are actually a few methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer
Just to summarise what's in the link above:
Method one is to have two Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you two completely separate libraries.
Method two is to set your preferences so that either one or both iPods get updated with only certain playlists within one library. If you've had no success with this you can have a look through the guide on this page: Loading songs onto iPod automatically
Another option when using a single library is to set one or both of the iPods to manual update: Managing content manually on iPod
You can read about Windows user accounts here: Using Windows XP User Accounts

Why doesn't the icon change when I go to different websites-example yahoo doens't change to the purpe circle with the y inside?

When I pull up mozilla, I have a gray circle in front of the att homepage. When I go to yahoo, this icon doesn't change to the purple circle. The gray circle remains in the address bar before any website . -possibly only unsecured websites since I see that I have a picture of a lock when I was directed to this website. This recently happened and it occurs every time I pull up the browser.

I have been going crazy trying to figure out what was wrong. I was ready to take my computer in. Thanks so much for informing me of this -now I can rest easy . have a great day. Angela
